THE TREASURY.
Speaker Carlisle Mentioned in Connection
With the Treasury Portfolio.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-It is stated upon
good authority that week or ten days
ago Representative William l.. Scott, of
Pennsylvania, went to Speaker Carlisle
and asked him if he would accept the
Secretaryship of the Treasury if it was
rendered to him, remarking as he did so,
that he (Scott) could not entertain such a
proposition if it was made to him, as he
was interest ed in so many institutions in
conflict with the lawful requirements for
the office; and besides it would take six
months for him to get ready to accept the
Office if it was placed at his disposal
Speaker Carlisle, it is stated, replied
that he could not afford to relinguish his
hold upon Congressional life for pos ition
in the Cabinet; that the personal sacrifice
would be too great, and he hoped the office
would not be rendered to him. He was then
told why he was thought of in connection
with the Office; that it was because he en-
tertained the popular idea on monetary
matters, and the party policy IN regard to
the tariff and internal revenue, and fur
ther that his connection with the Admins
tration might have material influence in
success at the polls next year. Looking
at it in this light, the Speaker replied that
he might recons der, should it be
generally demanded that he sue.
ceed Mr.. Manning. He observed,
however, that he could do more
in his present position than if ne were in
the Cabinet; and that other men could be
selected who would give quite as much
satisfaction to the country, and who
would make no general or personal sacri
flee in assuming control of the office.
Then he was requested to go to the Presi-
dent and speak to him as he then spoke,
and give his advice upon the question.
The Speaker and the President were in
consultation for three hours yesterday.
1t is yet believed that Assistant Secretary
Fairchild will succeed Secretary Manning.

VIENNESE COOKING.

viands That Fail to Satisfy the Require
ments of an American Stomach.
The Austrians have never surrendered
themselves exclusively to the French
cuisine. 1t is hardly true that they
have gone half way to meet it. The
large hotels yield in a measure to the
exigencies of tourist appetites, but the
restaurants, even those that call them
selves fashionable-those in the Gra-
ben, for instance-retain their native
barbarisms. As regards quality Of
cooking there is little difference be-
tween those of different grades. At
either you are sure to have bouillon NIT
ei-that is, with an egg-and bouillon
Ohne Ct, nudel sosEp, goose soup and
few other liquid introductions to the
dinner included by the French under
the general name of potage. Goose
you may depend upon in variety of
forms, for the goose is bird of the
Danube, lending itself easily to the
wiles of the sportsman, and Judging by
the frequency of its appearance on bills
of fare, flying low and at all seasons.
But goose is by no means the most
deadly resource of the Vienna cuisine.
1t is not invariably an Objectionable
article of diet if you give due consid-
Grafton to its unctious quality end are
able to regard your couch through
long perspective. There is veal, as
there is veal eve. e.ywhere in Europe, and
usually Of that uncertain age which is
neither calf, cow nor OK. There is
mutton occasionally, chicken now and
then, and beef scarce and dear, COM
ing from attenuated animals whose day
of usefulness. either as milk-giving,
plow-pulling or cart-hauling in Bo-
hemian valleys, on Hungarian plains,
or on the hillsides of romantic Styria,
is long since past. These various
meats are served up IN accordance
with the express stipulations of bill of
fare couched in a tongue which the
whole civilized world long ago decided
had not the most distant relation to the
mysteries of the cuisine, to-wit: the
German. You usually pay dear for
beef and other meats. Your goose is
served at reasonable prices. 1t is
automatically divided. or is supposed
to be. into halves, quarters. eighths, or
portions. Considering the unctious-
ness of the viands, most people content
themselves with portion literally
bathed in the process Of mastication and
digestion with one Of the white wines
of the country. Ham and eggs. the
ham of the country being excellent, can
be had served in fashion that, with
slight effort of the imagination, one is
able to think American.-V Vienna Cor.

REALISM IN FICTION.
The Art of Interesting People in the Conn
mon Things of Every Day Life.

The Art of Interesting People in the Com
mon Things of Every Day Life.
1t requires great deal more imagi-
nation to write realistic novel than
to write a fairy-tale; because the OBJ
ject of realistic story is not to repeat
common things, but to interest people
in common things; not to create un-
common things, but to show people
that common things are not by any
means so uninteresting as they seem
at first sight. The realistic writer must
see, not new things, but new qualities
in things; and to do that, he must
have plenty of imagination. Those
whom you call "old-fashioned writer's"
imagined that they must describe the
thoughts and looks and clothes and ac-
tions of a Princess, or some creature
out of the range Of everyday life; but
the realistic writers have discovered
that the thoughts and clothes and looks
and actions of little beggar-girl can
be made just as interesting to people,
if only you can see what is unseen
about them with your minds eye.
Now, which would you say had really
the nobler imagination-a man who
went into his library and wrote a re-
markable poem about the golden ap-
pies of the Hesperides, that were pure
creations of his fancy, or Sir Isaac
Newton when he went and sat down
under common appletree, and set his
TO 70 ND
what made the apple fall to the groundP
The realistic writer is satisfied with the
everyday apple tree-that is quite GER
tain; but here is your mistake about
him, he isn't satisfied with telling you
that the apples fell; he shows you how
they fell, and what a great, beautiful,
wonderful law of the universe caused
them to fall and he makes you feel
that the law was all the more beautiful
and wonderful for not applying merely
to one particular apple, or even to the
whole class of apple trees, but to every
thing.
A little while ago you spoke of one Of
Mr.. Howells' heroines who tried to do
something and couldn't. suppose you
mean the poor rich girl who lost all her
money, and found that all her fine edu-
cation did not help her bit when it
came to earning her li--ing. Now if Mr..
Howells had merely meant by that to
show girls how absurd it was for them
TO try to do any thing, it would have
,een very cruel story; but think he
merely meant TO show the parents what
-crappy sort of education they were Civ
ng their daughters, with all the money
hey were spending for it.-AIies Hel.
